Lin Xihe never expected that she would transmigrate into a book! When she came to her senses, by a strange twist of fate, she had already saved the male lead, who in the original book's later s...
"Mu Ruoyan, don't mention the word 'lackey' again." Lin Xihe's tone was clearly tinged with anger.
However, when she saw Mu Ruoyan's face darken little by little, she panicked and immediately reached out from under the table, gently took Mu Ruoyan's hand, and even gently stroked his palm.
This subtle gesture, like a spring breeze, instantly extinguished Mu Ruoyan's burgeoning anger.
He thought to himself, "Oh well, Ji Zhuo is just an outsider."
The way Lin Xihe placed the teacup reveals that she still favors herself more in her heart.
Moreover, when she saw me come in, she didn't question me harshly about why I didn't kill Xiao Yugan to avenge his father and brothers. Instead, she gently wanted to hear my explanation, which was enough to show that she still had some trust and reliance on me.
Hearing Lin Xihe's words of defense, Ji Zhuo felt a surge of warmth in his heart and unconsciously lowered his head, a smile appearing on his face.
He knew in his heart that Lin Xihe still favored him.
“You two should speak properly here. You continue, Mu Ruoyan. Xiao Yugan isn’t stupid. Just because you saved him, he’ll sign a contract with you?” Lin Xihe quickly smoothed things over and brought the topic back on track.
“Of course not.” Mu Ruoyan put down her teacup, her expression calm. “The relationship between Da Hao and the Western Regions is tense right now, and they could break out at any moment. The reason they haven’t fought yet is that Xiao Yugan is worried that the Northern Border and the Western Regions are secretly colluding. I saved him, which can be considered as surrendering to him. Doesn’t he want to prolong his life and stay young forever? I made this medicine for him, and it will take effect immediately after he takes it.”
Lin Xihe understood that Mu Ruoyan was referring to the kind of medicine that could make a person's physical functions stronger than those of an ordinary person.
"Not only that, I also promise to send 100,000 troops, under the command of General Ren Dahao, to help him conquer the Western Regions," Mu Ruoyan continued, her tone brimming with confidence and pride.
At this moment, Ji Zhuo couldn't help but ask directly, "Then what do you want?"
"The world will be unified." Mu Ruoyan uttered these four words with a resounding voice, his eyes gleaming with a burning light, as if he could already see the glorious scene of a unified world.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xihe was so surprised that she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.
She never imagined that Mu Ruoyan would either ask for nothing at all, or once she had a scheme, it would be for such a grand goal: to take the whole world into her possession!
